 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [0.6.0] - 2026-07-06 — Fog Gate

+0.2 gated proof (*no proof → no keep*); 0.3 gated the *seam* of that proof
+(*wrong proof → no ship*); 0.4 metered the loop's *depth*; 0.5 gave it a *cockpit*.
+0.6 gates the **fog**: high-uncertainty work maps its unknowns before it builds —
+**no map → no confident build.** `/ratchet:map` walks the four unknown-quadrants
+(known knowns · known unknowns · unknown knowns · unknown unknowns), the aperture dial
+routes A3–A4 into it, and the map stays live through the build as deviation notes.
